Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is an
original feature meme created over at the Broke and The Bookish. This week’s
topic is Ten Books I Would Want to Read With my Book Club.

1.Wild By: Cheryl Strayed- I just finished her
book Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on
love and life from Dear Sugar and it was amazing. Strayed has a way of
putting her thoughts into words, and she is so eloquent. In a lot of her advice
she talks about her personal life which I know she touches on a lot in Wild, so I think it would be a great
book to discuss.

2.I Am Malala By: Malala Yousafzai- This girl is
amazing! Her struggles and the rights she is trying to obtain for women in
oppressive countries are just astounding. What a role model!

3.The End of Your Life Book Club By: Will
Schwalbe- I think this one would be a tough read, but I think that it would
create some great discussion. The author starts a “book club” with his mother
who is dying of cancer.

4.Gone With the Wind By: Margaret Mitchell- I have
always wanted to read this book! I think it would be great to sit down with a
group of girls and discuss the issues of the times from the book and also kind
of compare it to the movie.

5.Quiet By: Susan Cain- This is a book about the
world of introverts. How introverts live in society, how society may not be the
best environment for some introverts, etc. I myself am a social introvert, so I
love being around others, but I also need my quiet, alone time or I get very
cranky!

6.The Opposite of Loneliness By: Marina Keegan- This
is a collection of posthumous essays and stories written by Keegan. She passed
away a couple of days after her college graduation. She wrote a great essay
entitled The Opposite of Loneliness, which
happened to be the last essay she wrote for her school and it was great. This
made me interested in her other work.

7.We Were Liars By: E. Lockhart- This book sounds
really good. I have been becoming more of a YA book fan, and so this one sounds
like it would be fun to delve into and then talk about all the juicy gossip.

8.Not That
Kind of Girl By: Lena Dunham- I love Lena! I have drunken the Kool Aid, and I
can’t get enough of her. I have heard this book is pretty funny, which would be
fun to reminisce about with a group of girls!

9.The Invention of Wings By: Sue Monk Kidd- An Oprah’s
book club book. I mean, do I need to say more?

10.The Poisonwood Bible By: Barbara Kingsolver- I
have tried to start this twice, and people can’t believe I haven’t gotten
sucked in. My cousin did say though that it took about 50 pages or so. I think
maybe if I read this for a book club I would be able to press through.

I Am Malala is definitely a must read for me this year! We Were Liars is a fantastic book and it really different from typical YA contemporaries so I think you'll enjoy it :3 It's also on my list too! Great list C:
